Akira (1988)

Like a Kaneda tai Tetsuo, Neo Tokyo metsubou? We're finally
fulfilling the prophecy (?) laid out in the Teriyaki Boyz song from
Tokyo Drift by heading to Neo Tokyo to watch Akira! Before we get
there, though, we break down another minute of the Turbo Charged
Prelude and dive deep into the 30-second commercial for #F9 shared
on Super Bowl Sunday. Then, we talk about the post-apocalyptic
landscape of Akira, its animation and body horror, and what Joey
thought this movie was about before finally seeing it for the first
time. We also wonder if there are direct ties between this plot and
Eteon, as well as between Tetsuo and Han. (Movie conversation
begins around 48:00.) Email us: family@cageclub.me Visit our
